Delve into the music of four prolific composers, beginning with Haydn’s Symphony No. 61. Known as the “Father of the Symphony,” Haydn fills this exquisite composition with tender reflection. Then, Associate Concertmaster Kathryn Eberle takes the spotlight as soloist in an intimate performance of Beethoven’s rule-breaking Romance in G Major, aptly titled for its lovely, swelling theme and variations. Eberle’s musicality continues to glow in Saint-Saëns’ Havanaise, which was composed with “a crackling hotel room fire” in mind—this piece is as warm and lively as its inspiration. The evening concludes with Schubert’s Symphony No. 6, fondly dubbed the “Little C Major,” written when Schubert was just 21 years old.
